Advisory Fuel Rates for Company Cars

Advisory rates only apply where employers reimburse employees for business travel in a company car or require employees to repay the cost of fuel used for private travel in a company car. If the rate paid per mile of business travel is no higher than the advisory rate for the particular engine size and fuel type of the car, HMRC will accept that there is no taxable profit and no Class 1 NIC liability.

Mileage Allowance Payments (MAPs) for Employees

MAPs represent the maximum tax free mileage allowances an employee can receive from their employer for using their own vehicle for business journeys.

An employer is allowed to pay an employee a certain amount of MAPs each year without having to report payments to HMRC.

If the employee receives less than the statutory rate, tax relief can be claimed on the difference.
